A metallic-y neutral look!

When I got the Naked palette, I got it more for kit use as opposed to using it on myself because I figured it would be too neutral for me and I wouldn't want to use it that much. I was wrong. I've used it so much more than I ever thought I would (anyone else think the color "Naked" is completely genius???).

Also when I got my Tough as Taupe Maybelline Color Tattoo I knew I wanted to use it with my favorite NYX Ultra Pearl Mania, which is the color Mocha, it's a beautiful grey brown color. So I used Tough as Taupe for my base today and then I foiled the Mocha on my lid and finished off the look using the Naked palette. I know this isn't the most exciting look in the world but I like it!

My color placement:

I also placed my first order with Beauty From the Earth yesterday. They had some blogger set deal where you could pick from certain groupings of colors (pink & brown, mattes, bold colors, metallic & jewels) and you'd get 3 full sized colors and 3 sample sized colors for $12. I thought that was a really good deal so my metallic and jewel colors (hopefully a good choice haha) are on their way! Have any of you used BFTE? If so, how do you like them? I can't wait to get them and try them out!

Horray for tomorrow being Friday! I hope you guys all have a great weekend!! Thank you so much for checking this out!!!

Right? I 100% agree. Instead they decided to put Half Baked in there! Half Baked! That's my least favorite color from the palette. And I already have it in my other Urban Decay palette and never use it!

I still feel like my photographs aren't very good. Especially when I can't get to natural light. I have a Canon Powershot A2100 IS. But I usually stand in my back doorway when the sun is on the other side of my house so the light reflects off of my fence, which helps the colors to show up more true to life. But I still edit my pictures on picnik.com (which is closing on April 19th so I'm going to have to figure something else out!) where I edit the contrast and the color temperature. I hope that helps a little!

Its hard for simple looks to have a lot of impact, but you've certainly managed to do that hear. Well done, you look really pretty in these pictures. I've yet to try BFTE but I'll be looking forward to what you have to say about your shadows.

Your experience with cosmetic companies

I did a blog post about this but I feel that it's important enough to have on here permanently. If you guys ever buy anything from a company because of something I have said and you either get treated really well or really poorly, please let me know! I want to make sure I'm only promoting companies whose number one concern is customer satisfaction! You can e-mail me with any experiences at starryskies214@yahoo.com! Thank you so much for any feedback!
